1234671 - Discover root issue of reftests failures

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Testing :: General, defect)

Description

[Armen [:armenzg]]

I was hoping that during the investigations of jmaher something would show up as the root issue of most reftests. Unfortunately nothing showed up.

I looked into font configuration and it seems to match my loaner.

I don't know if the dbus-launch difference is relevant or not [2]

We can close this bug if we can't think of what else to look into. I mainly wanted to collect some data in here.

about half of the failures went away with gnome-shell.  That could indicate some other focus related issue was the cause.  The others are small fuzzing things.  Adjusting the font size is helping in many, adding fuzzing is also helping.  I am trying to fix all the reftest failures which I can reproduce on my main development box as well as taskcluster/docker.  This will leave a list of <10 failures to look at.

I vote for closing this bug.
